Note * — Chapter III · THE SPREAD OF GLACIERS DURING COLD EPOCHS.
Reading edition
The meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, September, 1895, was reported in Science of October 18, where mention is made of an interesting paper by Mr. R. B. White, on “The Glacial Age of Tropical America,” in which he described a number of apparently glacial deposits in the Republic of Colombia, almost under the equator. He spoke of moraines forming veritable mountains, immense thicknesses of bowlder clay, breccias, cement beds, sand, gravels, and clays, beds of loess, valleys scooped, grooved, and terraced, monstrous erratics, and traces of great avalanches.
